County codes may hinder a group of Clinton residents in their plan to establish an affordable, eco-friendly community.
Larry Dobson and a group of friends and associates have been working to establish a plan to devel-op a sustainable and affordable community on Dobson’s property in Clinton.
As reported by The Record article “Fundamental living: Clinton resi-dents work to establish sustainable, affordable community,” the com-munity envisioned would be similar to those on Orcas Island.
But according to David Wechner, director of Island County Planning and Community Development, some of the residents’ ideas may not be in compliance with county regulations.
In an email to The Record on Tuesday morning, Wechner said that Dobson was sent a letter on Feb. 11 informing him of code vio-lations and advising him to “cease all un-permitted activity on the property” and apply for a site plan review for a camp-ground and home industry.
Wechner said asso-ciates of Dobson’s had come by the county office to ask questions regarding the matter, but said he had received little response from Dobson himself.
Wechner noted that Dobson was sent a final notice letter May 5 which reiterated the need for land use and
health permits for the property. Dobson had an appointment
to meet with Island County code enforcement on Tuesday.
Wechner clarified that no fines have yet been assessed, though the fees for the necessary per-mits will exceed $2,000.
In regard to Dobson’s future plans for the prop-erty, Wechner said he had not seen any details thus far and is therefore unable to comment at this
time as to whether the plan complies with county code.
However, Wechner specified that the group’s hope to establish a land trust in order to remove the prop-
erty from the speculative market would likely not be feasible.
“What is taking place on Mr. Dobson’s property does not fit the generally-accepted definition of a ‘land trust,’ ” Wechner wrote.
In a telephone conversation, Dobson confirmed that he had received a citation for Duran Laframboise’s camping on the prop-erty. Dobson said that Laframboise had spoken with the person respon-sible for issuing the order and had tried to resolve the matter. Dobson said that he has tried to contact a code compliance officer at Island County but had been unable to reach anyone as of Thursday, May 28.
“I’ve telephoned him sever-al times and never got a reply,” Dobson said.
Dobson said that Laframboise is no longer living on the property. He
is now residing in Seattle. Dobson acknowledged that it is
against county code to store or live in motor homes on residential prop-erty, but said that he suspects there are hundreds of people doing so.
After the initial story’s publication in May, a concerned neighbor con-tacted The Record to voice several concerns. In addition to the above-mentioned issues, the neighbor claimed that Dobson’s building of a tiny house was not legal.
Wechner said that the tiny house issue was not brought to his atten-tion until after the May 5 letter had been sent. Wechner said that Dobson had been notified about the concern over the phone.
“We need to see details on it to make the code call,” Wechner wrote. “Guest houses are allowed in the county — remains to be seen if the ‘tiny house’ qualifies.”

A man who was once named as a “person of inter-est” in an unresolved bank robbery was sent to prison for stealing cigarettes and lottery tickets.
Christian Shorey, a 35-year-old Langley resi-dent, pleaded guilty in Island County Superior Court Monday to one count of second-degree burglary.
The judge sentenced him to five years in prison.
Shorey broke into the Bayview Valero in October of 2012. A surveillance video showed a masked man jumping the counter and stealing cigarettes, lottery tickets, candy and drinks, according to the deputy’s report.
A cashier at the store identified Shorey in the
video from his tattoos, which were captured in the video.
The Halloween mask left behind at the scene was sent to the state crime lab for DNA analysis. Prosecutors charged him last year with two counts of second-degree burglary.
Island County Sheriff Mark Brown named Shorey as “a person of interest” in the robbery last September of Wells Fargo Bank in Clinton.
At least four members of Shorey’s immediate family told detectives they believe it was his voice they heard on a recording of a phony 9-1-1 call that preceded the bank heist.
The call is believed to have been intended as a diversionary tactic to lure deputies away from Clinton.
The bank robber wore a black mask, gloves and
a camouflage jacket over a black hooded sweatshirt. Brandishing a black semi-automatic handgun, the robber approached a teller and demanded cash and the keys to an employee’s
vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.
Shorey was arrested in Forks in October after allegedly burglarizing a bar there.

Burglar pleads guilty, sentenced to 5 years
Development rules may dash Clinton builder’s dream

Island County Planning Department
Council tables camping rules
Langley city leaders decided Monday to take more time on proposed rules that would limit the length of stay for campers.
On the advice of the city planning director and Port of South Whidbey representatives, the coun-cil unanimously voted to table the ordinance that would have set a two-week limit for campers in town.
Port of South Whidbey Commissioner Curt Gordon attended the meeting to present the port district’s interest in the matter. The Island County Fairgrounds in Langley is county property managed by the Port of South Whidbey. Included is a campground area that has seen some recent changes including a fee
increase and summertime hosts to serve as go-betweens for campers and port management.
One of the city’s main concerns was unkempt areas resulting from long-staying campers, some of them reportedly homeless or in transition between housing.
“My number one goal is to keep everything tidy and respectful,” said Melene Thompson, who was hired on a contract to manage the fairgrounds and campgrounds in late April.
Gordon said the port doesn’t want the fair-grounds to become a place for the homeless to camp out or transition.
“Our goal is not to pro-vide service to the home-less,” he said, referring to the port’s focus of eco-nomic development.
His main concern with the city’s proposed two-week camping limit was that it may restrict the port’s ability to operate.
He said the fairgrounds need to be flexible and for the port have the ability to dictate its own terms “to make as much as we can out of the campgrounds.”
With regard to “prob-lem” campers, Gordon said the Langley Police Department has been helpful in enforcing the port’s policies and escort-ing people off the prop-erty.
The Langley City Council agreed to table the ordi-nance until the planner and port officials could discuss it further.
Business licenses added, changed
A new type of busi-ness license is available in Langley, and the fees for existing licenses have changed.
Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio presented the changes June 1 to the Langley City Council, which unani-
mously voted to waive the first reading and approve them. Davolio implement-ed a seasonal license that lasts 90 days and increased the temporary license from seven to 10 days.
Adding business license categories creates more flexibility for merchants. Previously, Langley only offered a seven-day or year-long license.
“That’s not the great-est solution for someone who’s only going to be in business for two or three months,” said Debbie Mahler, city clerk and trea-surer.
The annual business license fee increased from $50 to $60 for a business outside the city that’s conducting business in Langley. Temporary ven-dors will pay $30, up from $25 plus, if requested, a $10 renewal fee.
Davolio said he made the seasonal license last 90 days to eventually cover and replace the recently instituted mobile food vendor license. The mobile food vendor season was
established between Memorial Day and Labor Day, late May to early September.
Commencements start this week

CORRECTIONSIn the Saturday, May 30 issue of The Record, the story entitled “Congregation bids Langley couple adios,” contained an error. Trinity Lutheran Church will host the Humphreys’ Hurrah! at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 26. In the Saturday, May 30 issue of The Record, a front page headline about Diking District 4 contained incorrect information. The meet-ing is set for June 10.In the May 22 issue of The Record, the story “Fundamental Living: Clinton residents work to establish sustainable, affordable commu-nity” contained several errors and left out pertinent information. Bridget Smith is the Town Building Official for Coupeville, not a county code enforcement officer. Larry Dobson is a builder, not an architect. In February, Dobson was sent a letter asking him to cease all un-permitted activity on the property and to apply for a site plan review for a home business and campground. Also, Duran Laframboise, who was living in a Winnebago at the time of the story’s publication, was issued an order to cease camping on the property earlier this month. He is no longer living on site.
The Open Circle Community Choir, directed by Peggy Taylor, will join with several prominent musicians in a concert called “Light is Returning,” at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 7 at the Whidbey Institute.
Members of the choir are honoring and help-ing Langley resident Charlie Murphy who was recently diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (or ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Joining the choir will be Susan Osborn, The Rural Characters, Judith Adams, Barbara Dunn, Rebekka Goldsmith and Greg Garbarino.
Murphy is a Seattle musician who was the leader of the band, Rumors of the Big Wave, in the 1980s and ’90s. He has become known in recent years for directing an international youth program called Partners
for Youth Empowerment (PYE Global), an outgrowth of Power of Hope, which he co-founded with Peggy Taylor. Murphy and Taylor co-authored the book “Catch the Fire: An Art-Full Guide to Unleashing the
Creative Power of Youth, Adults and Communities.”
Proceeds from the concert will be used for Murphy’s medical bills, treatment and related expenses.
Admission to the con-
cert is by donation.
ICA students tidy up fairgrounds
Students from Island Christian Academy worked at the Island County Fairgrounds recently in preparation of the Whidbey Island
Area Fair in July. As part of a school-
wide community service project, more than 80 students from preschool to 12th grade worked with teachers and par-ents to remove pine cones, needles, weeds and rocks.

Graduation season is always an exciting time of year on South Whidbey, but the past few weeks have been especially awesome.
From the outstanding performances of the district’s sports teams at state to the heartwarming crowning of Talia Petosa as prom queen and the inspiring aca-demic successes of the high school’s and academy’s senior classes, we at The Record are impressed. Competitively, socially and academically, the classes of 2015 have shined with demonstrations of determi-nation, brains and heart.
Starting with the most recent news first, the school district’s Falcon spring sports teams soared this year with six of the seven competing for state titles: base-ball, softball, soccer, track, boys golf and girls golf. Tennis also did well, making it to the tri-district tour-nament, which is just shy of state.
While no one came home with first place trophies, that hardly matters. That so many from one area were good enough to challenge the very best of the 1A programs in all of Washington is simply outstand-ing and certainly a bragging right for any school district.
Hold your heads high, Falcons — not a person on South Whidbey can be anything but exceedingly proud of your great achievements.
Academically, the success stories that are Isla Dübendorf, 17, and Meaghan de Wolf, 18 — South Whidbey High School’s 2015 valedictorians — are nothing short of amazing. With dizzying displays of intellect and commitment, they maintained 4.0 grade averages for four years straight. Clearly they are headed for great things.
Similarly, South Whidbey Academy’s graduating class is always one of inspiration. High school can be tough, much more so for some than others, and this year’s 16 graduates proved that with determination and perseverance they can realize their dreams.
Finally, the high school’s recent crowning of Talia Petosa as prom queen spoke volumes about the Class of 2015’s character. Many would have loved the once-in-a-lifetime honor, but this group of exceptional students became the teachers with a public lesson in maturity and humility beyond their years.
Well done, South Whidbey students, well done. You all rock!
ThanksChina City sale helped Fishin’ ClubEditor,
The board of the Whidbey Island Fishin’ Club would like to thank Angela Vosburg and her hard-working China City crew for helping make our nonprofit more profit-able.
Their garage sale this past Saturday was well orga-nized and (rain-be-damned) well attended. We made hundreds of dollars for our scholarship program, and in the process made our spous-es happy by selling garage-cluttering gear and making room for more.
Signed, THE FISHIN’ CLUB BOARD
ElectionsEmerson is proper choice for LangleyEditor,
Langley encapsu-lates city living on South Whidbey, it reflects our values for prioritizing the environment, the arts and a sustainable econo-my with diversity and a healthy dash of rural char-acter thrown into the mix. It needs a populist and progressive mayor with a healthy respect for trans-parency who can get things done. Sharon Emerson is that person, and I wish I could vote for her.
Sharon and family have lived on South Whidbey for three decades, sent their daughter through our schools and always were actively involved in diverse community activi-ties. Sharon started and maintained a very success-ful home nursing company that’s been flourishing
around here for 20 years. I’ve known her to always be thoroughly informed about every political or commu-nity issue we see around here and forever anxious to learn more. She articu-lates her views and shows the admirable quality of thoughtfully accepting and considering diverse ones. She’s a doer that is orga-nized, articulate, passion-ate and approachable.
Sharon is the perfect mayor who will represent all the people of Langley and steer our only city in a direction that advances the priorities of South Whidbey into the 21st cen-tury.

ResponseClimate change impacts us allEditor,
I was dismayed recent-ly to hear some local citizens’ responses to the “PaddleInSeattle” protest against Shell Oil’s plans to drill for oil in the Arctic. One gentleman found the whole protest “ridiculous,” because the protestors used canoes made from
petroleum, and had driven to Seattle in cars powered by gasoline. Thus, the rea-soning went, these protes-tors were naive at best, and hypocritical at worst.
I’m grateful for remarks like this, as they highlight how the message of this and other similar protests is not coming through clearly. What is required of us is not just to reduce our individual oil consump-tion as consumers, but to challenge a system that doesn’t allow us choices, such as access to afford-able alternatives to fossil fuels (hard, when the fossil fuel industry systemically opposes their develop-ment). Several other coun-tries have already made a transition to the predomi-nant use of renewable, clean energy sources — there are no insurmount-able technical or economic obstacles to doing this. So why is our government cutting funding for the development of alterna-tive energy sources? Why are we taxpayers subsidiz-ing Big Oil, enabling it to spend billions of dollars to shape government policies and consumer preferenc-es that are antithetical to the very system changes which must occur if we
are to prevent our world from becoming less and less habitable?
If our own Defense Department says that cli-mate change is the great-est threat to our national security, why don’t we take this seriously? What are we waiting for? We don’t have to forsake all fos-sil fuel use and the jobs that depend on it. We can accelerate our transi-tion to clean energy, and insure that future drilling is done safely and respon-sibly (not the situation for Shell in the Arctic). We can exercise our collective will and remember that our children’s future and the health of the earth — our home — is our most important value. Climate change is not a partisan issue, it’s a human issue which affects all of us, especially our children.

this role, I am also a voter, a property owner, a busi-ness person, a volunteer, involved with local organi-zations and I shop locally whenever I can.
What does all that make me? It makes me a stake-hold. All of us are stake-holders in our communi-ties, our cities, our counties, our state and country. We all get to have a voice in everything — sometimes that voice is a vote, some-times it is as a stakeholder. Stakeholders are not less important voices than vot-ers.
Someone wrote a letter that suggests that the Island County Comprehensive Plan work for Freeland (Few want to see Freeland a city) benefits only those who own property in the business district, but not the residents. It is short-sighted to believe that only residents are stakeholders for Freeland, or anywhere else.
A stakeholder can be a family who has been com-ing to Freeland beaches for five generations (my own family for example), some-one who likes to eat din-ner in a restaurant (gosh, that’s me again), someone who wants to see small
businesses stay open and be successful 12 months a year, instead of just five or six months a year… and yes, stakeholders can be the residents who live full time or part time in the Freeland neighborhoods. Stakeholders are simply people who care about their communities, large or small — important people who have a voice that counts.
Stakeholders are one group. There is no way to separate residents away from everyone else; we’ve co-mingled for too long for that to stop.
No one is using political means to force unnatural growth on Freeland. The excellent planning team of Island County is doing their job, as required by the State of Washington, and as required by any interested stakeholder who wants to live, work or play in Freeland. I’m one of those interested stakeholders, and I hope you are too.

LETTERSCONTINUED FROM A6
By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record
South Whidbey lost the state 1A baseball championship game 6-4 to Hoquiam and still made history.
It was the first time South Whidbey High School had reached a state title game.
As it had in just about every game this season, South Whidbey fought as far as the Falcons could. But this time, the Falcons’ fight fell short of captur-ing the title that went to the Hoquiam Grizzlies.
“We hit balls hard all day, they made great plays,” Falcon head coach Tom Fallon said Monday. “That’s state baseball, that’s the way the state championship should be.”
“This will never be taken away from this group of kids,” he added. “They played for the state title.”
After starting an hour later than scheduled while the previous game in Yakima went into extra innings, South Whidbey fell behind early and couldn’t recover.
Hoquiam took a three-run lead in the first inning on a double by Grizzlies sophomore Skyler Jump to the right-field fence off of start-ing Falcon pitcher Will Simms. The sophomore was put on the mound, said Fallon, because he had the most rested arm after pitching only a few innings the previous weekend and having watched Hoquiam “blast” a left-handed pitcher the previous game. That left South Whidbey, in Fallon’s opinion, with two options: Simms and junior Ricky Muzzy, who had thrown a complete game the previous Saturday.
“We went into it like every other game,” Fallon said.
“The one difference was we got down early,” he added. “That changes the dynamics and the way you can play the game.”
Trying to catch up, South Whidbey was held scoreless and trailing 5-0 in the top of the fifth inning. Jump, Hoquiam’s starting pitcher, had held the Falcons without a hit to this point.
Before putting on their helmets and gloves, Fallon huddled the team together. He said he told them a quick joke to break the tension and get them to laugh a little.
“I told them, ‘I’m sick of looking at that goose egg up there. Let me let you in on a little secret, we have to score one before we score two,’ and that got them to giggle a little bit,” he said.
The light-hearted pep talk worked. Simms broke the no-hitter with
a single to right field and reached second on a sacrifice bunt by senior
Campbell Albertsen. A fly ball hit by junior Ricky Muzzy fell in right field, moving Simms to third base. Connor Antich, a sophomore, grounded out to second base to bring in Simms for the Falcons’ first run. Mo Hamsa, a senior, was walked to put runners
on first and sec-ond. Fallon called for a hit-and-run for senior Brent Piehler, who blasted the ball to right field to bring in two runs. Trent Fallon knocked in South Whidbey’s final run on a hit through the infield.
Trailing by only one run, South Whidbey was poised to recover.
But in the next inning, Hoquiam scored another run on a two-out single to center field off Falcon junior pitcher Charlie Patterson, who had relieved Simms earlier in the fourth
inning. Fallon said the score killed South Whidbey’s momentum.
“The inch needed to catch a ball or not catch a ball went their way,” Fallon said.
“We’re definitely not a team built to come from behind,” he added. “We’re going to score about three, four runs.”
South Whidbey wasn’t able to cross the plate again as Hoquiam secured its first state baseball title since 1980.
After the loss, South Whidbey received the second-place trophy in a short ceremony at home plate. Fallon said he gathered the team together briefly behind the stadium before boarding the bus for a long ride back to Whidbey.
“My whole message was, ‘We can’t be upset with this finish.’ I know we were so close, but in my mind that was not a failure,” Fallon said. “That was an amazing, amazing, effort that came up just short.”
“It would have been easy to roll over and die and not get back into this game,” he added.

With 17 hits across two games, South Whidbey’s offense couldn’t carry it past the first two rounds of the state 1A softball tournament in the Tri-Cities on May 29.
The Falcons squeaked past Nooksack Valley into the state tournament and faced Seattle Christian in the first round. Falcon head coach Tim Collins said the bi-district round of the playoffs gave South Whidbey some much-needed confidence and momentum after staggering through the regular season and Cascade Conference play.
“The bi-district and the state playoffs showed my kids that we can compete even if we’re not the strongest defen-sively,” Collins said. “Playing all the 2A schools and facing their pitchers paid off, espe-cially when we got on a roll.”
Seattle Christian won 9-5 and out-hit South Whidbey with 11 hits, including a triple and a double in the fourth inning that led to four runs.
South Whidbey trailed the entire game. Seattle Christian took a 4-0 lead in the second inning, padded it to 8-2 by the fourth and fended off South Whidbey after the Falcons’ three-run fifth inning.
“They hit the ball in bunch-es, and we didn’t,” Collins said.
Falcon sophomore Kacie Hanson had a pair of doubles
and a RBI. Anne Madsen, the Falcons’ senior catcher, hit a double, a single and two RBI. Sarah Merrow, a senior, hit a double and a single in the loss.
Collins credited a batting lineup change late in the regular season for South Whidbey’s improved offense. He said that with about eight games remaining before the postseason, he adjusted the batting order to reflect the batting averages, from top to bottom.
“We were a whole lot more successful that way,” he said.
Against Connell in the elimination second round, runs were hard to find. Connell took a lead in the second inning, with South Whidbey answering later in the frame.
Connell regained the lead in the fourth and took the go-ahead run in the fifth.
South Whidbey attempted a seventh-inning rally that scored one run and left the tying runner stranded on second base. Falcon senior Abby Hodson led off with a double, her second hit of the game. She reached third on a single by Hanson, her third hit of the game. Mackenzee Collins, a freshman, hit a RBI groundout for South Whidbey’s final run.
“The top and the bottom of the order had five of the nine hits,” Collins said. “We just couldn’t get Kacie home the last inning.”
Fast Falcons reach state track finals Paced by freshman Elizabeth Donnelly’s and junior
Tanner Lobdell’s second-place finishes, South Whidbey was well represented at the state 1A meet in Cheney on May 29.
Donnelly set her personal record at 2:17.34 in the 800-meter race. She bested her previous fast mark that day by nearly six seconds.
Lobdell ran the fastest 400-meter race of his career in 50.35 seconds.
Allie Vanbenschoten, a junior, finished in fourth place in the 300-meter hurdles. Her time of 47.03 seconds was just shy of her personal-best set at the bi-district meet May 23.
The Falcon boys 1,600-meter relay team placed eighth. Cameron Lobdell, Evan Mellish, Cole Zink, and Tanner Lobdell combined for a time of 3:35.64, one of the group’s faster times of the season.
Kristen Schuster, a senior, finished in 10th place in the girls discus. Her best throw of 106 feet, 2 inches repre-sented her third-farthest distance this season.
Bailey Forsyth, a sophomore, missed out on the 100-meter finals after placing 10th in the preliminary heats, just shy of a finals-qualifying mark. Her time of 13.08 seconds was her third-best time of the season.

from across the road at South Whidbey High School.
They were, or at least felt like they were, outsiders.
“I couldn’t focus in the classrooms because they were too big and I suffer from anxiety,” said Julie Casey-Peters, 18, as tears welled in her eyes.
Casey-Peters said she was bullied and didn’t feel supported in her previous school. Years ago she fell off her horse and suffered some head trauma and was nearly blind. That kept her out of class and she fell behind.
Having enrolled at South Whidbey Academy two years ago, she has since been an exemplary student.
“Now I’m a four-time honor roll student because of this school,” she said through teary eyes.
As an equestrian competi-tor and trainer, she needed a flexible schedule that allowed her to work in Coupeville.
Karin Fifield, 18, of Freeland, said she trans-ferred to the academy seek-ing a new atmosphere. She grew up on Whidbey and wanted a “healthier” place to learn.
“I’ve been called a freak … The schools never did any-
thing,” she said. “It had created great stress
relief that I needed and I found the greatest teacher ever in Ms. (Leah) Tormey,” she added, referring to the impact of South Whidbey Academy.
Other students needed self-directed classes to earn make-up credits for previ-ously failed courses. Daryck Porter, who has been in the alternative program for three years, said the smaller class sizes helped him receive
more individualized instruc-tion. He was receiving spe-cial education instruction in elementary school, moved to regular classes by middle school, but started failing.
“At this school, I’ve gotten to the point where I’m gradu-ating,” he said.
Also, finding a place where he felt accepted helped Porter, 19, who said he lived in “Frangley,” the Goss Lake-area between Langley and Freeland.
“I’m the stereotype kid,” he
said, pointing to his full beard and leather jacket. “I don’t fit in the ‘normal’ crowd, I get stressed in that.”
Seth Townsend-Tyers, 18, has been in an alterna-tive program most of his life. He was in the Cedar School program in Coupeville prior to enrolling at the Bayview School, which became South Whidbey Academy and relo-cated in 2012. He said he wanted to attend Bayview because of its reputation as a place for the outsiders and
second-chance students. “One of my initial attrac-
tions to the Bayview School was that connotation,” Townsend-Tyers said.
Madinah Goodson, 20, came to Clinton from the San Antonio, Texas area this year. Dyslexic and with a diag-nosed anxiety disorder, she fell behind in the Lone Star State and was facing getting her high school diploma in 2018.
Moving to Whidbey, she only needed one class this year to wrap up her require-ments and retook others to improve her grades in math and science.
“Moving here and having people that took the time to help me really made a differ-ence,” she said.
Goodson will be one of the faculty-selected student speakers at the ceremony Thursday. Only a South Whidbey Academy student for one year, she immersed herself in the school’s culture, joining the Invent team and robotics club. Previously she
wasn’t much for extracurricu-lar academic activities.
“There’s always something strange happening here and I like it,” she said.
As the school continues moving toward a full alter-native program rather than a last-chance school, some of the to-be grads said they hope the school retains its small-family feel. Porter cited a Christmas party the high school students organized in his first year in the alternative school.
“It’s nice when the high schoolers get together and plan something,” Porter said.
“It’s my second family almost,” added Fifield.

Stop Dreaming!
Is this the year you’ll buy a home or are you just dreaming? Although most home purchases begin as a dream, they actually occur as the result of a commitment – in fact, two commitments.
The dream phase is vital because it transforms the fantasies of the mind into a picture of reality. It allows a home to take shape in the imagination without cost, boundaries, or limitations. From the dream phase evolves the future home.
The commitment stage has two parts. First, a home purchase requires an emotional commitment. Those responsible must be confi dent that it is the right time to buy. They must have substantial reasons to begin the process, and they must be prepared to take the actions required to bring their dream to fruition.
The second commitment is fi nancial. Buying a home requires cash for a down-payment, creditworthiness to secure a mortgage, and the earning power to liquidate the debt. The confi dence to make this commitment can be gained by visiting a mortgage lender. By analyzing your fi nancial picture in advance, the lender can offer a loan commitment at a specifi c interest rate, giving you the buying power needed to make your purchase.
Make your dream a reality this year. Take the three steps: dream, commit, and commit. Before you know it, you’ll be moving to a new reality. Really!

ACADEMYCONTINUED FROM A1
By hook or by crook, they kept straight “A”s throughout their courses, which were by no means a cumulative cakewalk. They took advanced place-ment classes designed to be college preparation and tested into receiving col-lege credit for several of them, from biol-ogy to U.S. history to statistics. Hopeful world travelers, both Dübendorf and de Wolf took at least three years of Spanish, plus one year of Russian and French, respectively.
Both students were praised by educa-tors as upstanding young women and excellent students.
“It’s pretty easy to come to work when you have kids like that,” said Andy Davis, a math teacher who had both students over the years and now has them as peer tutors.
“They do a nice job of being the smart kid who can bring themselves to the level of the struggling student,” he added.
With their school work largely fin-ished and final tests all taken, they took some time away from their math peer tutor period to chat with The Recordabout what was required of them for per-fect grades and where they’re headed.
Isla Dübendorf has a crystal-clear vision of what career she wants. Having grown up on a small South Whidbey farm with goats, chickens and horses, Dübendorf said she plans to pursue a doctorate in veterinary medicine.
“It’s something I’ve always had a pas-
sion for since I was young,” she said. The lifelong vegetarian said two of her
family’s goats were saved from becom-ing dinner. Performing some of the less savory acts, such as euthanizing pets and livestock, won’t be an issue for her. She’s already witnessed a few surgeries and accompanied her parents when their goat and horse were euthanized. Both ended up being buried, one in Coupeville at a large animal cemetery and the other in her family’s property.
“We don’t eat any of the animals,” she laughed.
The straight-A student said she came close to losing perfect grades as a fresh-man. In her second semester of algebra, her grade was slipping but she spoke with the teacher for help and got back on track. It wasn’t like she was ever close to failing, however.
“I don’t like to have anything below a 94, so I have wiggle room,” she said.
Her studious nature is well known among her peers. Citing her extensive and meticulous notes from class, de Wolf said most people associate Dübendorf was being a model learner.
“I’ve never cried after an AP bio test,” de Wolf said through a wry smile while nodding toward Dübendorf in the high school’s staff conference room.
Dübendorf, in her quest to be the best, said the stress of a high-stakes test has gotten the better of her emotions from time to time. But each result came back with high marks, so she’s learning to stress less.
The competitive ski racer knows a thing or two about stress. She’s been a downhill skier for years, though she admitted that this final season was a
disappointment because of the condi-tions at Stevens Pass and a leg injury her younger brother sustained, keeping the family split during weekend ventures to the mountain slopes.
“I love the adrenaline,” she said. When she wasn’t studying or skiing,
Dübendorf spent time playing for the varsity girls soccer and girls tennis teams the past four years. She spent summers as a tennis instructor and swim instruc-tor.
Dübendorf was an Associated Student Body representative for three years as a ninth-grade senator, 10th-grade public relations director and 12th-grade trea-surer. Seeking ways to volunteer, she joined the school’s Spanish Club, Key Club (a youth division of Kiwanis), and National Honor Society, in addition to helping out at the Northwest Language Academy in Langley.
Maintaining perfect marks through all of the classes and extracurriculars was possible, she said, by paying attention, asking for help, and a regular sleep cycle.
“Start the semester off strong,” she said. “Try to get as much sleep as you can.”
In pursuit of her veterinary ambitions, Dübendorf will enroll in the honors pro-gram as a Regents Scholar at Washington State University. Her parents are both graduates of the Pullman-based univer-sity, and its veterinary program lured her to the eastern limit of Washington state.
“I wanted to get away but not too far,” she said.

Meaghan de Wolf readily admits to being a bit sassy and a lot sarcastic. That’s how she tells people she cares without telling them she cares, she said.
“The more I make fun of people, the more I like them,” she said.
Biting humor aside, de Wolf is known for her cheer-ful attitude, according to her fellow valedictorian.
“You’re always happy,” Dübendorf told her. “But you can be sassy at the same time.”
A relentless volunteer, de Wolf logged some 620 hours as a volunteer barista at the South Whidbey Commons in Langley. She joked that she saw three different people hired as the director during her stint with the Commons before being hired at Payless Foods in Freeland.
She was in the Key Club and Interact Club (a Rotary International affiliate) at the
high school, in addition to serving on the ASB as the sophomore class treasurer, junior class vice president and public relations executive as a senior.
“I like being busy. Right now, I get home and lay on my bed, pull out the phone and get the movie going,” she said, imitating fluttering, drowsy eyes and motioning her head toward an imagi-nary pillow.
Business or finance are ahead for de Wolf. She is slated to enroll at Regent’s
University London, sight unseen, this fall. She’ll take her first visit this summer during a class trip to Europe. Only recently did she start looking at her own budget as a means of exercising her mathematics prowess, citing her decision to forego the purchase of a new prom dress in favor of reusing one she already owns.
“I recycled a dress for prom,” she said, citing the hassle of finding a new one and the added cost that would come out of her wallet.
She described herself as an “intense Netflix watcher” who favors series such as “The Office,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Vampire Diaries.” Most movies or tele-vision shows can elicit one crocodile tear from her, she said.
“I’m the one-tear person,” de Wolf said, putting her index finger below her eye and dragging it down like a tear. “It’s really dramatic.”
de Wolf practically grew up on South Whidbey. Her fam-ily moved to the island when she was in second grade, and she’s been an island kid ever since. That never took away her desire for city life, however, and that was what eventually pulled her across the Atlantic Ocean to apply at Regent’s University London.
She’s come a long way from the girl who once want-ed to be the first secret agent in space — her childhood dream job.
“There’s not much crime in space, so I would’ve been pretty useless,” she laughed.
Just like Dübendorf, de Wolf said one of the open secrets of good grades is hav-ing the gumption to ask for help. She didn’t understand plenty of lessons during her math and science courses, but asking for help or meet-ing with the teacher or peers after school or during lunch went a long way to shoring up her scores.
“You have to be ready to not hang out with your friends,” she said.

Though several Viking boats had been discovered, these were used for burials and warring parties and were not designed to handle sea voyages.
The knarr was designed specifically to handle the rough waters of the North Sea, and was used to freight goods along the trade routes and to settle various areas.
In the early 1980s, Saga Siglar captain Ragnar Thorseth, known as “Norway’s last Viking,” began planning his round-the-world sail. He had it in mind to replicate the knarr, and enlisted the help of Moses after the two frequented the same museum seeking information in rigging a centuries-old boat.
The two worked for two years with a team of fellow enthusi-asts to accurately reconstruct the knarr. Upon its completion, 700 people rolled the boat from the forest to the sea on logs, just as would have been done centuries prior.
In 1984, on the anniversary of a battle which had united Norway 800 years prior, King Olav shared a ceremonial drink with the men before sending them off on their historic expedi-tion.
Moses, who divides his time between Norway and Langley, will present a slideshow and discussion of his journey titled “A Viking Adventure” at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 3 at the Northwest Language Academy.
During his presentation, Moses will discuss highlights of the journey which Thorseth himself described as “a pretty hair experience,” including their exploration of areas such as the Faroe Islands, L’Anse aux Meadows, Iceland and Greenland.
He’ll also touch upon such climactic moments as the 15-hour hurricane the crew encountered between Greenland and Canada, which left the men fearful for their lives, including Thorseth who tethered his 11-year-old son to his side.
“That was pretty creepy,” Moses said of surviving the hur-ricane. “But it also showed how well-built the boat is.”
Throughout the journey, the sailors used traditional tech-niques when possible, such as throwing diesel fuel on the water as the Vikings used whale oil. However, they used modern technologies for safety and navigation. A film crew followed the boat for much of the journey, and several books have been written to document the expedition.
The Saga Siglar sailed until 1985, when it sank in a storm just off of the coast of Spain. There were no casualties.
Moses’ presentation is a part of Nordic Midsommarfest, a series of events celebrating the summer traditions of Nordic communities.
The main Language of Food event will take place on Saturday, June 13 and will include a dinner, celebration and performances by Nordic artists.
The most enjoyable aspect of the voyage, Moses said, was the unique experience of traveling throughout the North Sea, meeting residents of isolated and ancient communities, fishing in abundant waters and viewing incredible vistas.
“When you landed in a new place you’d just buy new clothes,” Moses said of traveling throughout the North Sea. “You were so wet and smelly and exhausted, and delighted to have made it ashore and made it alive. It was an emotional roller coaster.”
